xinetd is the superserver and runs many other services. You want to make
sure you don't need any of those services.
In non Redhat systems in would be inetd and the info would be in inetd.conf
To see what xinetd is doing you can run (as root or use sudo):
/sbin/chkconfig --list
This will list all the stuff you are starting. At the end of the list you
will see everything under control of xinetd and whether or not it is enabled.
Also you can go to the directory /etc/xinetd.d and see files which start all
these services under the direction of xinetd. The enable parameter in these
files will read either yes or no. Using the disable parameter in each of
these you can control what you are running out of here.
There is also an /etc/xinetd.conf file. ( a favorite place fore hackers to
set up a remote shell, always a good idea to check that once in a while)
If you are running RedHat it is good to get familiar with man pages on:
xinetd
xinetd.conf
chkconfig
chkconfig is very usefull for turning on and off the services you want to use.
